THURSDAY HAPPY HOUR
Tonight sees another Quartet Happy Hour with two jackpots allocated to races at Sandown Park & Hobart. The Happy Hour kicks off at 5.52pm and finishes at 6.25pm.
MD6 – 5.52pm – Grade 5 Final (595m) – approx $5,000
Est pool $30k
COUSIN CALLUM (1) ran a nice race at his track debut last week finishing second in his heat after he jumped from box 5. The move into the red box looks like a great chance for him to go one better tonight. QUEEN OF CYPRUS (5) was the fastest of the heat winners and if she repeats her time of 34.49 she will be very hard to beat. She will however need a bit of lady luck from the squeeze box. HELLA GOOD (4) is a powerful finisher of his races and judging by last week’s win where he came home from 7th position it would be wise to show him respect and keep him very safe. These 3 runners appear to be the best chances on paper however the final is very open so play as wide as possible in flexi bets as all of these are capable of figuring prominently in the finish with the right run.
Quartet selections (listed in order of preference)
Winners: COUSIN CALLUM (1) & QUEEN OF CYPRUS (5)
Each Way: HELLA GOOD (4)
Place Chances: Field
OD7 – 6.25pm – Invitation (461m) – approx $5,000
Est pool $35k
BERGERMEISTER (8) is the track record holder and his record at this track is a mighty 9 wins from 11 starts. He should get plenty of room to wind up in this and could easily take it out. REWIND (5) has not started since his narrow defeat in the final of the Hobart Thousand and if he can bring that sort of form to this race then he will be expected to win this. PENNY’S ANGEL (1) is well drawn on the rail and if the favourites that are drawn worse than him slip up he will be there ready to pounce on this race. Keep safe for the win in wide bets. Again this is a very open race behind the main fancies so look to play as wide as possible behind the above mentioned 3 greyhounds in flexi quartets.
